| 0:00.0 | Research that resonates. |
| 0:05.0 | He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Switzer. |
| 0:09.0 | Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer has spent many years, in fact, probably |
| 0:16.0 | done a more comprehensive job than anyone's ever done, chronicling the corruption by the powerful in Washington. The very prescient Eric Eggers. |
| 0:22.6 | Join me right now is Government Accountability Institute Research Director, Eric Eggers. |
| 0:27.6 | We're going to take information that we've learned that people like Peter Schweitzer have uncovered, |
| 0:31.6 | and we're going to try to go further. |
| 0:34.6 | Great investigative reporting, Peter. You're the only one doing it. |
| 0:37.6 | Thank God. |
| 0:38.5 | Eric Eggers from the Government Accountability Institute and co-hosts of that great podcast, |
| 0:43.4 | The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer. |
